I'm a day shy of 3.5 wks post op (sleeved 5/9). My "puréed" diet has consisted of a variety of things - egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, salmon salad, poached egg, carrot curry puree Soup, Dahl with homemade Raita, Refried Beans with cheese, miso soup with tofu (no seaweed), etc. I've not had any tummy problems - especially if I eat slow and listen to my new tummy's satiety signals. I'm supposed to move on to soft foods next week (but sort of already doing that I guess).

I'm interested in trying edamame (chewed well) and the meat from artichoke leaves.

Thoughts?

I'm only a week and a day after surgery so I don't know, but have you ever made hummus from edamame? The consistency would be about right.

Sean, I started soft foods yesterday. I've tried egg but mostly just do cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. I did do some squished avocado this evening and it was fine. I honestly would be fine on pp shakes and Popsicles. How are you doing?

I am at end of week 1 soft stage and tonight tried a small artichoke. I should have stopped at the leaves and saved the heart for tomorrow.

You may struggle with vegetables that soon out unless they’re really well cooked. I’d add carrots, onions, celery, Tomato, cauliflower, mushrooms, to Soups, stews, etc. anything slow cooked from soft food. They’d be very soft & mushy. In solid food I found I could tolerate a little microwaved/steamed shredded cabbage or cauliflower, then green Beans. Other vegetables were too coarse or tasted unpleasant for a few more weeks. But we’re all different. You can only try.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
